This video from The Honest Carpenter will teach you 11 of the most important drilling tips and tricks—along with a handful of mistakes to avoid! For the purposes of this video, I’m just using an electric hand drill. BUT, many of these tips can apply to a drill press as well. NOTE: Pre-drilling is always a good idea. Pre-drilling removes some of the wood that is in the way of the fastener you’re driving. This creates a channel or pocket for the fastener (screw or nail) to sit in. It also prevents splitting, and makes driving the screw easier.

Start with a punch—Pre-drilling will be much easier if you use an awl, or trim nail to punch a small depression where you want to drill. This helps guarantee very accurate drilling. 2. Don’t use too much force—A drill should cut effectively with only consistent, minor force. Skinny bits in particular will break if you push on them too hard. 3. Clear swarf out of flutes—“Swarf” is the waste wood or metal that is removed in the process of drilling. Swarf can clog the flutes of a twist drill bit, preventing the bit from cutting effectively. Be sure to back the drill out multiple times to prevent swarf clogging. 4. Step up sizes—Rather than use a lot of force, try starting with smaller drill bits, and working your way up to the size of hole that you need.. 5. Use high speeds for drilling wood—Drill bits will work most effectively for drilling wood if you use high sheeds. 6. Use slow speeds for drilling metal—Conversely, slow speeds should be used for drilling metal, because metal material is removed in smalls scoops. If a bit is moving too fast, it will just skim along the surface of the material. 7. Tape to prevent splintering—To avoid tear out and splintering, try putting a piece of painters tape on the surface you’re drilling, and drill through it. The adhesive on the tape will stabilize wood grain below. 8. The “Eyeball” Method—To choose an appropriate drill bit size, hold the bit up to the fastener you’ll be using. You should be able to see the threads of the screw, but the shaft should be mostly hidden by the drill bit. 9. “Hogging Out” Material—If you don’t have a large enough drill bit, you can sometimes “hog out” the material with a smaller bit by working the bit back and forth through the hole. This will slowly widen the walls of the hole. 10. Don’t start drilling at an angle—Drill bits will wander badly when you begin drilling at an angle. So, instead, stand a drill bit up to start a hole, then tilt it down to finish drilling at an angle. 11. Use tape to set depth—Wrap a piece of tape around your drill bit to avoid over drilling. The tape will give you a visual indication of how deeply you would like to drill. This way, you can avoid punching through the backside of the material you’re drilling. We hope you enjoyed the video!
